Health Mate - iOS App - What is the Nutrition widget?

The Nutrition widget, available from your Timeline, is directly linked to your MyFitnessPal account. It displays:

your budget for the day

the amount of calories ingested

the amount of calories remaining or out of budget

Your budget for the day is calculated as follows:BMR + Calories earned + Weight loss/gain pace

Your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is an estimate of the amount of calories you need at rest so that your body can function.Your calories earned represent the amount of calories you've burned while working out.Your weight loss/gain pace determines the amount of calories that you need to remove or add to your diet to reach your weight goal.

For example, if you want to lose 400 grams (0.9 lbs) per week, you need to subtract 500 calories to your daily calorie intake.

The amount of calories ingested is based on the meals you’ve logged in MyFitnessPal. Only meal data coming from MyFitnessPal can be used at this point.

The amount of calories remaining is your calorie budget minus your calorie intake. If this subtract is negative, the amount of calories out of budget is displayed. When that happens, it’s up to you to work out to earn some more calories!

You can also tap the Food widget to display the daily detailed view. In this view, you get the following:

The amount of calories ingested

The amount of calories remaining or out of budget

The breakdown of your budget

The split by meal of your calorie intake

The split by macro nutrient of your calorie intake

You also have a weekly view, accessible by tapping the dots in the top right corner and tapping Week. This view displays:

The comparison of your intake and budget for each day of the week

The average amount of calories ingested per week

The average amount of calories remaining or out of budget per week
